Photoisomerization and energy transfer in naphthalene-terminated stilbene dendrimers.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Naphthalene-terminated stilbene dendrimers, the largest stilbene dendrimers to date, underwent photoisomerization via highly efficient energy transfer from the dendron group to the core stilbene. It was also demonstrated that the energy transfer efficiency in these dendrimers may be controlled by light, utilizing trans-cis isomerization as the key photoreaction.

متن کاملDynamics simulations with spin-flip time-dependent density functional theory: photoisomerization and photocyclization mechanisms of cis-stilbene in ππ* states.
On-the-fly dynamics simulations were carried out using spin-flip time dependent density functional theory (SF-TDDFT) to examine the photoisomerization and photocyclization mechanisms of cis-stilbene following excitation to the ππ* state. A state tracking method was devised to follow the target state among nearly degenerate electronic states during the dynamics simulations. The steepest descent ...

The photophysics of a family of conjugated phenylacetylene (PA) light-harvesting dendrimers are studied using steady-state and time-resolved optical spectroscopy. The dendrimers consist of a substituted PA core surrounded by meta-branched PA arms. The total number of PA moieties ranges from 3 (first generation) to 63 (fifth generation). By using an alcohol/ketone substituent at the dendrimer co...

The effect on picosecond reaction dynamics due to complexation of a reactive molecule with cyclodextrins was examined, with the trans-cis photoisomerization of stilbene as an example. In the presence of a-cyclodextrin, a single, slow exponential decay of trans-stilbene fluorescence is observed, consistent with the formation of a single complex. In contrast, in the presence of 8-cyclodextrin, th...

The photoisomerization process of 1,2-diphenylethylene (stilbene) is investigated using the spin-flip density functional theory (SFDFT), which has recently been shown to be a promising approach for locating conical intersection (CI) points (Minezawa, N.; Gordon, M. S. J. Phys. Chem. A2009, 113, 12749). The SFDFT method gives valuable insight into twisted stilbene to which the linear response ti...
